Fortela SS26
Fortela’s collections make looking good so easy that it feels like cheating.
This SS26 edit is a strong case in point. It presents timelessly cool, archival-inspired styles, all lovingly reproduced with an Italian flair for the finer details and a dedication to future-proof construction.
Scroll on for a closer look at what’s landed this week - from work jackets to polos, selvedge denim to tube-knit tees.
Albert Utility Jacket
Manteco Cotton, Blue
The Albert is a modern interpretation of the classic blouson style. Cut flatteringly wide at the shoulder with a nice, boxy proportionality about it - a nice mix of mid-century design sensibilities, with a touch of rugged utility. The fabric is a structured cotton twill from the family-owned Manteco mill in Tuscany - a company lauded for its focus on lower-impact, sustainable milling processes. Finished with a central zipper, two generous chest pockets, and side tab adjusters.

Clays Work Jacket
Double-Sided Camouflage
A dialled-in fit and a mellow, sun-faded finish make the Clays jacket a softer, more versatile entry into the camouflage category. This work jacket is made up in a sturdy 14oz Italian herringbone twill and finished with a double-sided camouflage print - sand on the outside, olive drab on the inside. The pattern itself is a custom makeup, blending the iconic USMC “Frog Skin” or “Duck Hunter” disruptive pattern with Italy’s own “Telo Mimetico”.

Sean 914 Selvedge Denim Jeans
13oz, Washed, Straight Cut
The Sean is a clean and classic straight-leg style, cut and sewn in Italy from 13oz Japanese redline selvedge denim. This washed-down, broken-in denim replicates the fades of a well-loved jean. No overstated distressing - just nice, even fades throughout.


Polo Shirts
Arlo Terry Cloth & Adrien Cotton Knit
A duo of summer-ready short-sleeve polos. The Adrien is a pared-back, buttonless polo shirt, made in Italy from a premium, loose-knit cotton and fitted with a one-piece collar. The Arlo ups the weight and texture with a luxuriously plush terry cloth. This one’s a button-up and comes finished with a single, buttoned chest pocket.


Newfatigue Fatigue Pants
Olive Sateen
Fortela honour the military, countercultural, and even sartorial tradition of the classic fatigue pant with this made-in-Italy rendition. The fabric is a custom cotton sateen with a lovely vertical texture already coming through. The fit opts for a more tailored finish - an excellent choice for those who like the fatigue style but not the bagginess that often comes with it.

Two-Pack T-Shirts
Japanese Tubular Knit, White
A fond callback to the days when tees always came in packs of two. These are made start to finish in Japan using seamless, tubular-knit construction and a hardy, double-needle-stitched collar. Maximum comfort. Maximum durability. Maximum shape retention. Available in two-packs of white. A premium take on the go-anywhere, do-anything tee.

Newyork Pleated Pants
Sage
The Newyork trouser fits the bill for anyone searching for a dressier, chino-adjacent style. This is a mid-to-high-rise style with an elegantly tapered leg and a double-pleated front. The cloth is a breezy, drapey cotton twill. Smart, but not so formal that they can’t become your daily drivers.
